What is trading?

The most of you will know what trading is, but for those who don’t know. Trading is basically betting on future price movements, by anticipating the future price trend as correctly as possible. Some people call this gambling and in a certain way it maybe is, because nobody knows for sure what the next move will be. But markets are driven by people and people tend to behave in predictable ways and have to deal with the same emotions. With the right approach a trader can make potential profits over time. Of course there is much more to say about it but I keep it to this for now.
